DESCRIPTION:Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace 
 legislation!\n\nAs the US supplies Israel with billions in arms, US 
 taxpayers foot the bill to slaughter Gaza and bombard Lebanon with 
 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs. Thumbing his nose at the world community, 
 Israeli PM Netanyhau tells the UN that Israel will continue its attacks on 
 Gaza and Lebanon amid its refusal to support a ceasefire. While protesters 
 shouted “Free Palestine” outside the UN, several delegations walked out 
 before Netanyhu could approach the podium. \n\nIsrael’s recent military 
 attacks on Hezbollah have left over 600 dead in Lebanon, and thousands 
 wounded, and Netanyahu has refused international efforts to negotiate a 
 21-day pause.\n\nMeanwhile, in this country, Senator Bernie Sanders, with 
 the support of Senators Merkley and Welsh, has introduced Joint Resolutions 
 of Disapproval to block certain weapons in a $20 billion arms package 
 negotiated between the US and Israel. \n\nJoin us for a conversation on how 
 to disarm Israel to stop its genocide in Gaza and attacks on 
 Lebanon.\n\nFeatured Guest:  \n\nRania Khalek is a Lebanese American 
 writer, political activist and journalist at Breakthrough News. Her work 
 has appeared at Common Dreams, Salon, The Nation, In These Times, Citizen 
 Radio and more. Her journey into journalism commenced in 2011 with 
 AlterNet, where she broke ground covering the Israeli occupation of the 
 West Bank. She swiftly gained more prominence from 2012 to 2014 through her 
 contributions to Truthout, further establishing her as a notable voice in 
 progressive media circles.\n
